input current will flow if a differential input voltage in excess of approximately ± 0.7 V is applied between the inputs unless some
limiting resistance is used.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

general
The OP27 and OP37 series devices can be inserted directly onto OP07, OP05, µA725, and SE5534 sockets
with or without removing external compensation or nulling components. In addition, the OP27 and OP37 can
be fitted to µA741 sockets by removing or modifying external nulling components.

noise testing
Figure 34 shows a test circuit for 0.1-Hz to 10-Hz peak-to-peak noise measurement of the OP27 and OP37. The
frequency response of this noise tester indicates that the 0.1-Hz corner is defined by only one zero. Because
the time limit acts as an additional zero to eliminate noise contributions from the frequency band below 0.1 Hz,
the test time to measure 0.1-Hz to 10-Hz noise should not exceed 10 seconds.
Measuring the typical 80-nV peak-to-peak noise performance of the OP27 and OP37 requires the following
special test precautions:
1. The device should be warmed up for at least five minutes. As the operational amplifier warms up, the
offset voltage typically changes 4 µV due to the chip temperature increasing from 10°C to 20°C starting
from the moment the power supplies are turned on. In the 10-s measurement interval, these
temperature-induced effects can easily exceed tens of nanovolts.
2. For similar reasons, the device should be well shielded from air currents to eliminate the possibility of
thermoelectric effects in excess of a few nanovolts, which would invalidate the measurements.
3. Sudden motion in the vicinity of the device should be avoided, as it produces a feedthrough effect that
increases observed noise.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

When measuring noise on a large number of units, a noise-voltage density test is recommended. A 10-Hz
noise-voltage density measurement correlates well with a 0.1-Hz to 10-Hz peak-to-peak noise reading since
both results are determined by the white noise and the location of the 1/f corner frequency.
Figure 35 shows a circuit measuring current noise and the formula for calculating current noise.

offset voltage adjustment


The input offset voltage and temperature coefficient of the OP27 and OP37 are permanently trimmed to a low
level at wafer testing. However, if further adjustment of VIO is necessary, using a 10-kΩ nulling potentiometer
as shown in Figure 36 does not degrade the temperature coefficient αVIO. Trimming to a value other than zero
creates an αVIO of VIO/300 µV/°C. For example, if VIO is adjusted to 300 µV, the change in αVIO is 1 µV/°C.
The adjustment range with a 10-kΩ potentiometer is approximately ± 2.5 mV. If a smaller adjustment range is
needed, the sensitivity and resolution of the nulling can be improved by using a smaller potentiometer in
conjunction with fixed resistors. The example in Figure 37 has an approximate null range of ± 200 µV.

Unless proper care is exercised, thermoelectric effects caused by temperature gradients across dissimilar
metals at the contacts to the input terminals can exceed the inherent temperature coefficient ∝VIO of the
amplifier. Air currents should be minimized, package leads should be short, and the two input leads should be
close together and at the same temperature.

offset voltage and drift (continued)


The circuit shown in Figure 38 measures offset voltage. This circuit can also be used as the burn-in configuration
for the OP27 and OP37 with the supply voltage increased to 20 V, R1 = R3 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 200 Ω, and

The resulting output waveform, when Rf ≤ 100 Ω and the input is driven with a fast large-signal pulse (> 1 V),
is shown in the pulsed-operation diagram in Figure 39.

Figure 39. Pulsed Operation

During the initial (fast-feedthrough-like) portion of the output waveform, the input protection diodes effectively
short the output to the input, and a current, limited only by the output short-circuit protection, is drawn by the
signal generator. When Rf ≥ 500 Ω, the output is capable of handling the current requirements (load
current ≤ 20 mA at 10 V), the amplifier stays in its active mode, and a smooth transition occurs. When
Rf > 2 kΩ, a pole is created with Rf and the amplifier’s input capacitance, creating additional phase shift and
reducing the phase margin. A small capacitor (20 pF to 50 pF) in parallel with Rf eliminates this problem.
